Reinis thanks very much for your response. The owner shown for :
/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock is 33 & group is 33. Both have read/write
access but other groups have no access rights.
I therefore added the following line at the beginning of nginx.conf
user 33 33;
However when I tried to restart nginx it failed and systemctl status says
that getpwnam("33") failed. What have I done wrong here?
Thanks for your continued help.
